LATEST FROM ROCK CREEK.

Frank Wood, an old time Colorado
prospector, just down from Rock
Creek, says that the right of way for
a wagon road from Osooyoos lake to
the district, distance about II or Is
miles, Is now cleared, thus making
an all wagon road from Spokane to
the mines. The Amelia location, Mr..
Wood says, is the most immense
thing in the way of gold quartz

APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDED.
Reviews VS.. O'Rourkes.

The game of base ball Sunday was
in a measure q disappointment par
ticularly to the admirers of the Ward
ner team. The playing was by no
means a skillful exhibition on either
side, and the errors numerous. For
two or three innings the playing was
good, but then the O'Rourkes went to
pieces and the Spokane club had a
walk over. Hammond started in to
pitch for the visitors and Drown to
catch, but on account of injuries to
the hands of Drown a change was
made in the third inning. st. Clair
was placed between the points and
Blakely behind the bat. The change
was anything but advantageous, and
runs were piled up with great rapidity.
The feature of the game was the dar-
ing base running of both teams, some
beautiful steals adding zest to the con-
test. The O'Rourkes showed lack of
practice and while they did some fine
individual playing did not work we'll
together. The next game with them
will no doubt be much more exciting
for they have the making of q good
team and will work hard to retrieve
their laurels. For the home team, the
battery work was excellent and Gillis-
pie, Fitzgerald and Daniels fielded
their positions in fine style.

That China Scheme.

CHICAGO, August 2.-The report
that Jay Gould proposes to give the
slow moving progress of China a
boost by introducing telephone COM
munication and establishing great
bank there that would not do q general
banking business but was to take
charge of the government finances and
control impending railways and tele-
graph enterprises in the Mongolian

country and China, and manager
Rama was asked to-day what he knew
of the reports. "I am sorry" he said,
"that publicity has been given to it,
because premature publication knocks
these things in the head. At the same
time / am free to state that such an
enterprise as announced is now on
foot. Mr.. Gould is not in it, however.
am not at liberty to tell you who
are its promoters except we are our

New Lum ber Yard.

Among the late improvements on
the north side of the liver isa new
lumber yard a short distance from
the foot of Post street bridge, estab-
lished by Fisher & Turner. Mr..
Fisher is comparatively a new conner
to the Falls, having formerly been
in the lumber business in Minnesota
and more recently treasurer of Bill.
lings county, Dokota. Prof. Turner
Is well known as being principal of
our public schools. They have con-
tracted to handle the lumber of Mr..
Robert E. Clarke, another of our
townsmen, from his mill twelve
miles east Of town. Mr.. Clarke has
over 2500 acres of timber land, es-
timated to contain over $4,000, 900
feet when cut, and Is now cutting as
rapidly las possible. Com
petent judges say that there is no
finer body OF timber in eastern
Washington. Fisher d Turner have
already contracted so much lumber
ahead, which is to be delivered di-
rect, that they do not expect to
make big showing on their yard
for some time to come. They have
among other bills to fill the lumber
contract for the large new college
boarding house and dormitories, to
be built by the III. G. McCamant. BY
the way we are informed that they
can give immediate employment to
several teams, to haul lumber. If
energy, fair dealing and good lum-
ber count for anything the new firm
will score success.

Forming q Club.

A number of business and pro-
fessional men of the city, interested
in the formation of social club, met
in Turner & Forster's Office last
evening and acted upon the report OF
the committee. A number of the
clauses were adopted, while others
were changed. A committee of
three consisting of Paul StrObach, A.
J. Staus and Harl J. Cook was ap-
pointed to draw up articles Of incor-
poration and declarations as to the
objects of the club. On motion a
committee of three, consisting OF q.
G. Griffitts, III. II. Brown and N.

bers. The meeting then adjourned
until Thursday evening, when full

Giying Spokane Falls and the Mines
Benefit Blast.
Monday Spokane Falls and the
Occur d. Alene mines received one
OF the greatest lifts through the
columns of the Portland Oregonlan
that the places have ever received
through the medium Of printers ink
outside OF the local press. Not only
were there several pages Of printed
matter descriptive Of this city and
the neighboring mines, but the
printed matter was accompanied by
two large lithograph pictures, one
view Of this city and various public
and private baildings, and the other
view of the Wardner country, with
the prominent mines plainly located
No undertaking of the kind on such
an elaborate scale was ever before
attempted, and its success Is due to
the energy of Il. +. Kane, the origina-
tor, and the Portland Oregonian, the
only publication on the upper coast
that is prepared to carry out such
venture. Mondays issue OF the
Oregonian containing these illustra-
tions and articles numbered $4,000,
and the benefit that the country will
derive therefrom Is beyond calcula-
ton. Mr.. Kane is to be congratu-
lated upon the success of his efforts.
his promises to the very letter.
When the Oregonian arrived yes
terday 1t was carefully examined by
NJ arlx hsts ne fhn
city, and we have yet to meet with
a single individual who is not thor
oughly satisfied. The article on
Spokane Falls was the work of a
gentleman eminently fitted for
treating the subject, and it Is using Il
mild expression of praise to say that
the work could not have been more
thoroughly done. Mr.. Kane is now
in the city and Is distributing copies
of the papers to fill the orders
he received in advance from
various business men. 1t is q great
satisfaction for him to feel that the
people of Spokane Falls have only
words of cOmmendation to say of the
publication. They feel that they
have been treated fairly and literally
in this instance and can find no fault
with the work. The paper will be
distributed all over the country. 1t
will find its way into the hands of
thousands of people who have n de-
sire to move west and try their
fortunes in new country. Without
exaggeration and without color the
articles state facts in relation to the
growing city of eastern Washington,
and the invitation that it holds out
will attract desirable class of citi-
zens. Mr.. Kane has worked hard
and faithfully in this matter. and the
result is much better than could have
been expected. He deserves liber-
al reward for his enterprise, and no
doubt he will find it In the shape of
more orders for copies than he can
possibly fill.

He Will Stand by the Republican
Nominee Of 1888.
A Fight at Walla Walla Ends in

Blaine and Sherman.

New York, Aug. pa Buffalo
special to the Times says: Recently
the Express of this city printed some
"reminiscences of Hon. A. N. Cole, who
claims to have been the father OF the
republican party and who for thirty
years has been on more or less iuti-
mate terms with the great political
leaders. In these articles there has
been much concerning these leaders
and it appears that papers containing
the articles were forwarded to John
Sherman. The latter found time to
write the following decidedly pertinent
letter to Mr.. Cole:
"I have read with deep interest
what is said in number of July 10th
in reference to Blaine's opinions of
myself. IT. is quite true, as
Blaine says, that ho and ] have
always been on intimate terms and al
ways had the highest regard for each
other. We were both presented as
candidates in 1880, but then some of
Mr.. Blaines friends in Ohio made the
fatal mistake OF dividing the Ohio del
egation and refused to vote for me but
voted for Mr.. Blaine. This not only
defeated me, but prevented the con-
centration of the Ohio delegation in
favor OF Mr.. Blaine. On the night be-
fore the last day of the convention he
said he hoped the Ohio delegation
would unite upon me and if SO my
nomination would follow as matter
of course. but so much feeling
had been caused by division that
it was found impossible and
was only reconciled by the nomina-
ton of Gen. Garfield. 1t may DE that
the same division will produce a like
result in the approaching canvass,
certainly have no objection to the NOM
ination of Mr.. Blaine, and if he is
nominated L will do what did in 1884,
do all can to secure his election. He
is more injured than benefited by the
activity of his friends in making di-
visions in republican states"
BY some il is considered that the !
special significance of this letter is the |
fact that it indicates no change |
in fair rivalry and the cordial rela-
which have long existed be-
tween Sherman and Blaine. 1t is held
to mean that John Sherman will get
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent il he can, and if he can't, he will
be glad to see it fall to Blaine, and if
honor should fall upon Sherman it
may be taken forsranted the Ohio
statesman will have the hearty sup
port of Blaine of Maine.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
INCREASE AND DECREASE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A statement
prepared ut the treasury department
shows that during the month OF July
last there was net decrease OF $6,-
663,74S in cash in the treasury and u
net increase Of $4,O47 1873 in circula-
ton.
CALLED ON FOR A REPORT.
The comptroller OF currency has
called on the national banks for re-
port OF their condition at the close of
business August 1st. No report was
ever called for in the month of August
until last year when August 9th was
the date fixed upon. Not since 1868
has any date in July later than the 1st
been selected. The information TO be
embodied in the report just called for
is expected to be particularly valua-
BILE as showing that some banks are
prepared to meet the approaching de-
mands for funds to move the crops.
COINAGE.
The coinage of the mints during the
months of July was 81 100000, of
which 100000 was in standard silver
dollars. The limited coinage was due
to the fact that the mint at Philadel-
phia was closed during the month for
repairs.
APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDED.
Major w. III. II. Benyaurd, of the
United States engineer, in his annual
report recommends the appropriation
of 1925, 900 for the improvement OF We'll
mington harbor, California, to be ex-
pended in dredging and jetty building,
and $1 900 for repairs to the levee at

Largely to Republican legislation and Re-

Finally, says Mr.. Voorhees,, "from JEFF
fersoD, Jackson and down to Grover
Cleveland the country has seen no better

previous misstatements. 1t is to create
the impression that good times have al
ways prevailed under Democratic rule
from Jefferson and Jackson down." and
that Grover Cleveland's administration,
like those of his Democratic predecessors,
is marked by exceptional prosperity.
Here again the statement and reference
are false.

Mr.. voorhees,, and we have printed so much
of its article as to convict it, much strong
er case than was made against the Chicago
Anarchists.
The country has never been more pros
porous than at present. Trade is brisk,
an evidence that work is plenty. The
people have confidence in Mr.. Clevelan d's
sagacity to let well enough alone, and it is
this common sense administration that
worries the Republican press generally. If
the people want things as they were fro m
1878 to 1878. they will put the Republican
party in power. II they want stability,
good times, plenty of work and sound
finances, they will keep the Democratic
party in power, and under the circum-
stances, such articles as the Journal writes
will not set the Democratic party back in
the least.

CHICAGO. November 2l.-A local paper
this morning publishes an article in which
it is stated that Nina Van Zandt, Spies
proxy wife, is wasting away, food not
having passed her lips since the day before
Spies was hanged. In conversation with
q reporter she expressed much bitterness
against TIE press and those who ''mur
dered" her husband" Mrs. Van Zandt
appeared greatly concerned about her
daughters health, and fears the worst.
She said: Had you heard that an effort
was made to revive August after his body
reached the undertaker's2 Well, Ii Is true,
The physicians used an electric battery,
applying 1t to his body tor an hour or
more in hopes OF tanning into q fame the
spark of life which seemed TO be lingering
in his veins. August never appeared to
be dead. His lips were moist and his
cheeks were warm after his body was re-
ceived from the Jail. But in Augusts
case no encouraging effects were produced,
and, though at one time there was a spark
of hope, the physicians soon gave 1t up
and permitted the embalmers to go to
wGk. That was a great mistake. The
emba1mers began to work at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and he died at r. They
should have waited several hours or more
and perhaps day or two"

the race against the present Presi-

know the beneficial results Of the past two
